Remember to tell someone where you will be fishing and what time to expect your return.

You should always fish in pairs especially on rocky or dangerous marks, and always keep a look out for each other.

It is inadvisable to wear chest waders on the rocky surfaces. Rubber tends to be slipy and if, lets hope not, you do fall into the sea waders will fill with water and drag you under.

If you decide to travel along the rocks carry the equipment, don't fill pockets with items like lead weights.

If you see someone in trouble help as far as possible but don't be a hero, call for assistance.

Always take care when using sharp implements and treat them with respect.

Carry a small first aid kit for those small emergencies. A minimum should be plasters and antiseptic cream. (old hooks and rotting bait can cause nasty infections)

If you are taking children fishing always take them to safe fishing locations and act responsibly, show them how to behave, the dangers and also the enjoyment in fishing.

If you are going to bring alcohol with you on a fishing trip, only drink in moderation and limit yourself as you would if you were driving.

If you turn up to a fishing trip suffering the affect of alcohol, other members in the trip will have the right to stop you from fishing. If the fishing trip is by boat then you will not be allowed to sail, and your share of the costs will be forfeited.

All rubbish, old hooks, line, cans etc., should be taken home and destroyed properly so not to cause damage to the environment, wildlife and other fishermen.
